Gold nanoclusters could selectively recognize chiral biomolecules to help detect certain diseases

An extensive computational study by researchers from Finland's University of Jyväskylä predicts that gold nanoclusters could selectively recognize chiral biomolecules. This property may help in detecting certain diseases directly from a blood sample. The work is published in the journal ACS Nano.
